Privacy attorneys are considered the best way to get policies for your website. And that’s true. However, they don’t typically come with an affordable price tag. So, is a Rocket Lawyer a good alternative? Or maybe just a Privacy Policy generator, like Termageddon, that has a privacy attorney as its founder/president?
In this blog we take a look at two of the most popular Privacy Policy generators — Termageddon and Rocket Lawyer — to see which might be best for your website.

Rocket Lawyer:
- Their Privacy Policy generator page suggests that the policy is compliant with GDPR. However, the Privacy Policy is not compliant with GDPR as it is missing very crucial disclosures such as the legal basis for processing the information and a full list of the rights offered to residents of the EU.
- The Privacy Policy that is generated also has references to the CCPA. However, it does not comply with this (outdated) law as it is also missing the required disclosures such as the categories of personal information collected and the full list of privacy rights offered by the law. Even if it did, CCPA has been replaced by CPRA.
Automatic updates
Termageddon:
- Automatic updates offered on all policies
- Updates have been made on time for every new privacy law and regulations.
- Has a state privacy bill tracker
Rocket Lawyer:
- Does not provide any information on updating the Privacy Policy.
- The Privacy Policy refers to an out-dated privacy law (CCPA).
- Their Privacy Policy checklist says nothing about the Privacy Policy needing to be updated either.
Privacy experts
Termageddon:
- Has a president (Donata) who is a licensed privacy attorney, Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and a member of the ABA’s Cybersecurity Legal Task Force.
Rocket Lawyer:
- Rocket Lawyer does connect you with attorneys through their lawyer lookup service. However, when looking at “choose your issue”, privacy is not included in the list.
Does it help figure out what privacy laws apply to you?
Termageddon:
- Yes, the first page of the Privacy Policy questionnaire helps determine what privacy laws apply to you. The rest of the questionnaire is based upon the disclosures required by those laws.
Rocket Lawyer:
- The generator just asks for the company name, website address, physical address, phone number and email address. The generator doesn’t dive into any additional questions designed to help you figure out which laws apply to your website.
Privacy Policy generation process
Termageddon:
- First page of the questionnaire helps determine what privacy laws apply to the website/business;
- The questionnaire includes all of the questions needed to create the disclosures required by the privacy laws that apply to the website/business;
- No assumptions nor generic information is used for these disclosures;
- Privacy Policy combines all privacy laws that apply to your website.
Rocket Lawyer:
- The generator asks for the company name, website address, physical address, phone number and email address, but there are no other questions asked to determine what privacy laws apply to the website/business.
- Any information provided is used to fill out the blanks in what appears to be a policy template.
- The template includes generic information and in some places requires the user to fill out their own information.
- The Privacy Policy assumes that a websites does not sell personal information without asking. While this is usually correct, it isn’t always the case and should be confirmed by the generator.
- The Privacy Policy also assumes that the user’s website tracks the behavior of its users and even the pages that they visit. Again, while this is common, it should be confirmed.
- The Privacy Policy does is missing necessary disclosures to comply with any privacy laws (including GDPR and CCPA which it refers to within the policy itself.)
Conclusion
By looking at specific details of different Privacy Policy generators, we hope this helps you narrow down your choice. Obviously, as a Termageddon blog, we recommend Termageddon for the following reasons:
- Straight-forward, upfront pricing
- Founded by a privacy attorney
- Automatically updates as laws change
- No assumptions or templated texts are used when generating policies
- Offers all the policies a website needs, in one location
That being said, we just want website owners to know what to look for in a generator so that they can keep themselves safe from fines and lawsuits.
If Termageddon does seem like a good fit for your business, you can find our Privacy Policy generator here. Hope this helps!
